Lost Islands Returned to Wisconsin

By Jerome Christenson winonadailynews.com

Sometime in the past 50 years, Wisconsin lost a couple of islands.

Minnesota found them and, like a good neighbor, is giving them back.

The islands are in the Mississippi River just north of Lock and Dam 4, downstream from the marina in Alma, Wis. They are part of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The only people affected by the change in jurisdiction will be those who hunt and trap on the islands, said Mary Stefanski, Winona district manager for the refuge. Wisconsin hunting and trapping regulations will apply this fall, and Wisconsin hunting licenses and stamps will be needed.
